I have a doubt regarding the setup of c# project.

1.What is the need of adding database file to the setup project?
2.Is it ok if there is no db file in setup?
3.In remote machines the application works because the database is in my machine.If im installing my project in any other computer thats not in network, how will the application work?
4.How to specify the database path in the project?

Any ideas? Please help..

You need to include the database in your setup.
See Create database during installation of a .NET application - Version 2[^].
